ホテル オーラ デル マール

Wonderful stay, friendly staff and amenities!

Me encantó.!

This is a really great property. We had a roomy suite with a sitting area, a large bathroom, and a very cute balcony with a jacuzzi tub and loungers. The hotel has great staff and is so close to the downtown/"Centro" area - we were able to walk to many restaurants and more. The beach was warm FYI! Pool area was great. Yes, there are MANY stairs. Something to consider. The hotel is also on top of a hill so there is a steep climb coming from the centro.

Bad staff they don’t take dogs and it said pet friendly

We've stayed at Aura del Mar twice now. We love staying there as the location is great, it is right on the beach, close to Centro and the view from the room is gorgeous. The staff is super nice and helpful. There are a few things they could improve. the shower had no water pressure for the last 3 days. It was so bad, it took me forever to wash my hair. It was the worst I've experienced in a hotel. We had some sort of glass fallen from the top floor and shuttered on our patio. The restaurant is good but very expensive. If the price is right, go for it!

This is our third stay over about twenty years at Aura del Mar. This place is heaven. The staff is excellent; the grounds are stunning. If you love Mexican art/architecture/colors, this place is for you. The rooms all face the sea and the views are magical. The staff hooks you up with reservations at the good restaurants, and there’s a taxi stand at the bottom of the hill so taxies are there within 2-3 minutes, ready to whisk you around the bay. The beach is calm and the sand is lovely. We usually go to Sayulita, which we’ve loved for many years, but now stay away during Christmas and Spring break because it’s packed. Zihuatenejo beach is super uncrowded, even on Spring break week. Give this place a try—if you like old school Mexican charm, you won’t be disappointed.

What a beautiful spot! Pool was great, It was right on the beach and next to a wonderful restaurant.

This was our second visit to Aura Del Mar; the first visit was when it was named Brisas Del Mar in 2010. This property has kept all the charm that we feel in love with back in 2010 and has made some incredible additions since. The pool deck over looking the ocean was peaceful and gave you a beautiful 360• view. The landscaping is gorgeous and tended to. The onsite spa has been updated and is lovely. Coffee machines in every room with fresh ground coffee provided. Turn down service at night. Cold A/C Friendly staff Abel is on the top deck serving happy hour and a gorgeous view of the sunset. The beach / pool towels they provide are adorable. This hotel is a gem.

The property is unique in that there are several different levels and different room types. The decor is very interesting with lots of plants and statues and two talkative parrots. We were in a top floor room with two beds and a fabulous view. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning. The location to walk along the malecon to town was convenient and offered us the opportunity to walk to several different restaurants. The only downside is the number of stairs to reach the pool and the beach. We would stay again however it was probably a one time stay as it is a bit out of our comfort zone due to cost.

This was an amazing area and everything was perfect. The beaches were to die for and the staff was unbelievable wonderful. I will be returning.

What a wonderful, magical place. The staff became friends. I couldn’t recommend more highly.

Always a go to place to stay in Zihua and has been for us for 24 years. It has all the amenities you need, clean quiet comfortable rooms, close to town, restaurant and bar , located on the beach. Great helpful attentive and polite , courteous staff. You will not be disappointed!

Great hotel. Staff was great. Tremendous views,

We love this hotel. The property is beautiful, with an amazing location on the beach. It's very clean, has great charm and the employees are friendly and helpful.

This was my 3rd visit to the property and first since Covid, and the property still holds the same charm and hospitality since my first visit in 2014. The rooms have a lot of space and incredible views from most of them. Staff are so hospitable and the restaurant is great for breakfast, and lunch/drinks by the pool or on the beach. And of course the beautiful landscaping and the Parrots just complete the Old Mexico feel. Can't wait to return again and again!

Todo hermoso! Lo único que no me gustó fue que tuvimos problemas con el baño y el agua caliente.

You will not find a friendlier or more welcoming staff. Such a beautiful, boutique hotel with clean rooms and facilities. We got upgraded to the Noyolytzi Suite from the Master Suite which was incredible. So clean, with two bedrooms and a big outdoor area in between, complete with a full kitchen and appliances, including a blender. We hadn't planned a single excursion (trying to keep things easy and stress free) but there's a very friendly man on site much of the time, Carlos, who helps you book whatever you want, from snorkeling to turtle release to sunset cruise and many other things. He seems to know all the best tour guides and sets everything up for you, often next day or even same day if it's early enough. One thing they don't advertise that we were so grateful for is that they will do laundry for you for a small charge. Our laundry bill for about 15 or so items was around $17 USD. The stairs are a thing and can be a lot, as noted in other reviews. But if you call ahead or email ahead and ask, they can advise you on which room to book with fewer stairs to the beach if you want. We were grateful for the extra calorie burn after dining on all that delicious food! And there are always staff around to greet you as you climb the stairs, and a very friendly McCaw!

Very comfortable rooms and beautiful views. Easy walk to centro. Service of staff is very good.

Hermoso hotel y excelente servicio

An amazing hotel! Beautiful grounds and rooms. It was like stepping into a little dream. The restaurant and staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating. The food so fresh and incredible selection of local seafood creativity prepared and presented. The front desk staff were warm and exceptionally friendly. The macaw’s living in the lobby area were beautiful….my favorite in the morning. The pool is absolutely stunning, just breathtaking. My favorite stay ever in Ixtapa and I’ve been there numerous times. Enjoy!
